Khimki Moscow vs Fenerbahce

We are in the Top 16 at Euroleague table and the landscape slowly clears.

Khimki defeated in details from Maccabi Tel-Aviv (80-79). The important thing is that they kept the difference and so they have an advantage in a triple tie with Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Caja Laboral. Next week Khimki has to play in Moscow against Caja Laboral and wants to go to that match without any loss against the indifferent Fenerbahce Ulker. Rimas Kurtinaitis has nothing to worry about injuries and he will have a full roster to manage in order to take the win he wants.

Fenerbahce lost once again, this time from Caja Laboral with 87-67. Fenerbahce is presented completely indifferent, and this appears on both sides (defense/attack). Specially, their defense is tragic and receives consistently close to 90 points. Ertugrul Erdogan will not have at his disposal Bojan Bogdanovic, who lost the game with Caja Laboral as well. His absence is very important, as he’s the team’s top scorer and that was obvious in the last game where Fenerbahce achieved just 67 points.

Fenerbache shows us that we only have to choose the ace. The handicap is certainly high, however, the absence of Bogdanovic and the tragic defensive behavior of the Turks, lead us to the Russians. Additional, Khimki is the only team that has motivation for points in this match.
